3. Applications and Benefits

The EMT Intrusive Pig Signaller is installed at key pipeline locations—including launching and receiving stations—to accurately confirm pig passage and enhance operational safety and efficiency in oil and gas transportation.

1. Real-Time Pig Tracking
Enables precise real-time detection of pig movement, allowing operators to monitor cleaning, inspection, or maintenance pigging cycles and verify pig location throughout the pipeline.

2. Prevents Blockages & Enhances Safety
Immediate detection of pig passage helps identify potential stuck-pig scenarios or flow restrictions early, reducing the risk of pipeline blockages, pressure build-up, and associated safety hazards.

3. Reduces Operational Downtime
Accurate tracking allows for optimized scheduling of maintenance and pigging activities, minimizing shutdown times and improving overall pipeline availability.

4. Customizable for Varied Pipeline Conditions
Supports multiple flange materials (e.g., stainless steel, carbon steel) and pressure ratings, ensuring compatibility with diverse oil and gas pipeline specifications and corrosive media.

5. Easy Integration and Installation
Designed for straightforward installation at critical points along the pipeline, facilitating quick deployment without major system modifications.
